EXPO TOPIC ESSAY

My group called FEAR OF POLICE. In the book The Outsiders we have been taking notes and noticing fear and oppression from police. Also we looked back on our own experiences and lives and use those as well as another option to use.
Some oppressors that are in this topic is the police AKA fuzz, 5-0 and others you can think of. People fear the police because they have authority and the right to arrest you and put you in jail or prison. They also have special weapons that can fatally kill you. Some people are afraid because of the things police do out of fear for example Oscar Grant. A young African American male that was on his way home on New Years that was shot and killed for no particular reason. That’s just an example of numerous incidents that happened when an innocent person was shot.
So after Oscar Grant was killed by Johannes Mehserle he was sent to trial. Now any man that killed a man and had that much evidences the man will be sentence 25 years to life at least. But since the man was a cop and the jury was mostly white and he was let off with 2 years. The system the judicial branch helps the cops out and that is why people fear the police. They are afraid of being judged by their sexual status, class or skin color.
People that are afraid of the police and did something wrong try to run away, head to a different state. They are also very anxious they will get caught. They are really scared of going to jail and being in there for a long time. So they run away from their problem.
Some connections or an experience I have with the police is when I seen my neighbor that sold some weed to an undercover cop and was arrested. He was tazered 2 times and thrown to the ground 2 times also. He was sent to prison for a year. That was horrible to see.
